1. NRA is totally friendly territory. He must be completely FUBAR.

[Kingofalldems]

2. Something going on for sure.

[wnylib]

41. His campaign can't hide his cognitive decline any more

so they are removing him from the public.

They tried to guide him through the Oaks, PA "town hall meeting" by providing the Q & A format to keep him from rambling too far off topic. They had Gov. Noem on hand to lead him through the process, continually calling him "Sir" and reminding him of each pre planned step in the town hall meeting as they went along. She was like a recreational therapist at a home for Alzheimer patients.

And he still went bonkers, on stage, in spite of all their precautions and Noem's obvious attempts to lead him around. They can't afford to take more chances like that so close to election day.

I think that his decline is two pronged. One is the devastating effect on him of having his narcissistic gimmicks exposed and crushed through his legal problems and the Harris/Walz campaign. The other is a genetic inheritance of his father's dementia. He's being hit with a double whammy. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

Mentally, Trump is burned out toast.

Beware of Vance, Trump's replacement.

[ShazzieB]

45. Agree 100%!

[erronis]

48. As you said, "Beware of Vance, Trump's replacement." It may have already happened in reality

with the 25th Amendment there to make it all look legal.

Wonder if they've picked out trump's resting spot. Perhaps somewhere near Ivana? Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster, New Jersey, U.S., 40.6536°N 74.6969°W

[Atreus]

49. Beware of Vance indeed....

I'm beginning to suspect that the Big Oaf is being limped to the finish line...then, should the worst case come to fruition and as has been the plan for some time now, Vance and Co. will be 25th Amendmenting the Dufus. Voila, mission successful.

Just my opinion of course.

[wnylib]

60. Not just your opinion. Many people who have been

watching the Trump decline and observing Vance would agree with you, from pundits and political strategists to ordinary citizens.

It is no longer an opinion. It is now a demonstrated fact that Trump is no longer functioning so Vance is next in line to take over.

[bdamomma]

108. Hmm.......

May be that is what they are planning, to slip Vance in with no votes from the American people. Would I be correct to say that?????

[coprolite]

62. The scene in The Godfather where the Don

kills the other mob bosses with the baseball bat at the dinner table, comes to mind when people suggest that JD should use of the 25 amendment.

[reACTIONary]

95. I remember that from the Untouchables...

... but I never saw the godfather, so it might have been in that also.

[ProfessorGAC]

105. It Wasn't The Godfather

It was the Untouchables, only.
Did not happen in any Godfather movie.
It was the DeNiro character as Capone that did that.
People get whacked in all The Godfather movies, but not like that.

[4catsmom]

90. didn't they just elect an even nastier than usual person for president of the NRA?

maybe trump's afraid of him

[groundloop]

58. Before we go getting all worked up over this, he still has at least two other appearances scheduled.....

One in Latrobe, PA on Oct 19th and another in Duluth, GA at a Turning Point PAC rally.

[Hekate]

75. Do we have an office pool going as to whether he shows for either?

Meanwhile, Kamala is blanketing the airwaves and hitting every state needed.

[bdamomma]

109. What about

the Madison Square Garden rally for the 27th October, will that still go on, or will he be channeling every dead dictator and have a meltdown. Hekate

[ToxMarz]

111. I doubt he's capable of thinking 10 days ahead

But why would any President need to be able to anyway?

[Johonny]

3. Not a big college town

[OC_Lars]

4. "They were still booing him when we came on stage"

I appreciate your Spinal Tap reference

[LudwigPastorius]

20. The review was just two words: "Shit Sandwich".

[yardwork]

29. They can't say that!!!

[OC_Lars]

52. Every line in this movie

is a gift. This scene where they are doing the reviews, it is clear they are just having a blast filming this

[yardwork]

54. I just love that movie.

None more black.

[yardwork]

17. Can I ask a practical question... is he doing Stonehenge tonight?

Love your Spinal Tap reference!

[Sky Jewels]

88. I hope they play "Lick My Love Pump."

[hatrack]

94. Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea . . .

[Bristlecone]

93. Ha! Perfect

[Faux pas]

5. I have a feeling

that it doesn't matter what he does because all his state minions are going to eff us all.

[NJCher]

7. ??

I don't understand your post. Would you please elaborate? Who are his state minions?

[nature-lover]

22. The state election officials who are Trumpers and will work on his behalf to rig elections.

[Iwasthere]

34. Exactly

I'm still worried about the shenanigans they'll pull. There's no low they won't consider. An absolutely overwhelming margin is what we need. Is the machinery safe?

[calimary]

39. That's rather telling. They keep underscoring how they know they can't win fair 'n' square.

They can only “win” if they cheat.

[gab13by13]

42. A cure for the angst is to watch Nicolle Wallace

every Wednesday she has on Marc Elias. Yesterday Elias explained how RNC co-chair has filed over 100 lawsuits this year and his law firm is beating them down.

Best move Kamala made was hiring his law firm. Elias said your vote will count, he has an army of lawyers ready to stop the ratfucking.

Maybe even the milquetoast will help out?

Go in the msnbc archives and watch yesterday's segment with Elias.

[Hekate]

81. Thanks for the tip, Gab!

[Escape]

46. I worry about that too.

He smugly slept through his felony trial. His campaign schedule has become lax and laid back. He frequently cancels events. Earlier this week he swayed, smirked and stumbled for 39 minutes in front of a group of people who deserved every minute of it.

Apparently, in contentious situations, he sometimes shits his pants to dissuade or unnerve his opponents. Not unlike a skunk.

A few weeks ago he was telling his Koolaid zombies that they "didn't really need to vote."

He seems to think that this "election thing" that happens on November 5th is not really that important. He appears to be very confident that "his people", foreign and domestic, have it all in the bag for him.

[Faux pas]

59. Yes!

Thank you for highlighting more of his suspicious behaviors. There's just so much and it never ends. I felt that we were cooked when he came down that escalator and was surrounded by paid "supporters".

[OMGWTF]

84. Shitler also reminded his flying monkeys to vote on January 5th.

[Skittles]

85. I'll spot him some points for not saying January 6

yes indeed

[ShazzieB]

64. Your pessism is understandable but unnecessary.

This country learned a few things from the last election. Our side has lawyers all over this stuff!

Last time, Uncle Sam got caught with his pants down, but this time everyone has been expecting and preparing for these hijinks.

The fact that there's a non election denier (i,e. Democrat) in the White House helps a lot, too. We'll get through this.

[Faux pas]

110. Thank you

I do know all those things, sometimes I just forget because he never goes away.

[DENVERPOPS]

100. here it is, the 12th amendment

https://www.democraticunderground.com/132243827

[MineralMan]

6. I think that Trump is finally incapable of giving a speech.

He hasn't been doing them well for some time, and I believe he is not going to give any more of them before the election.

He's done. Finished. Out of it.

Spread the word.

[NCDem47]

9. PILE ON!

Real momentum going on to get Trump out of the public eye. Where will the MSM be on THAT?!?!

[Lonestarblue]

28. And he seemed totally spaced out with his 39-minute music fest instead of finishing the rally.

I suspect he totally lost track and could not think of what he was supposed to be saying so just played music and left.

[yardwork]

31. And that was a hand-picked friendly crowd.

[John1956PA]

37. Yes. I caught a few minutes of his Atlanta speech a few evenings ago.

He stated repititiously that he would bring more business to Georgia than the state would be able to handle. He insultingly lied about our candidate's record in San Francisco. He did the same regarding the current governor of California with respect to that state. When he had exhausted himself of spewing insults, he switched on a video presentation of clips from our candidate. I think that the audio of most of those clips was altered or AI-generated.

I do not believe he is capable of delivering a coherent speech on the order of what is required in addressing a crowd at a special-interest convention.

[ShazzieB]

68. No question.

At best, he's become disastrously unreliable. They know their best bet is to keep him hidden away from now on.

[Bev54]

8. He also cancelled NBC interview so this is #4

[wnylib]

53. The air has leaked out of his inflated head and

there is nothing left in it for his campaign to keep it looking functional.

The puppet strings that they were using to keep his mindless hulk propped up and looking normal are too frayed to safely operate them any more.

The Adderall and various drug cocktails that they were using to recharge his operating battery have shorted out and no longer work because the battery is too depleted to get a useful spark out of it.

Trump as a (sort of) human being is no longer a threat. But his legacy and the memory of him in the minds of his devoted ones are still a grave problem for the country. Vance, Thiel, and the members of Congress who united around him are the threats now. They will invoke the sanctity of Trump as the semi divine MAGA leader, like Rs did in the past with St. Ronnie of the Trickle Down Cathedral.

[bdamomma]

112. I wonder

if his puppet master Putin is done with him or is he still flattering him?

[wnylib]

113. I think that Putin has other MAGAts on his

favorites list now. Trump is not just useless to Putin, but in Putin's way. Putin would prefer now to throw Trump under the bus -- or out a window.

[bdamomma]

114. Throw

under the bus? Putin has done that. Saying he received personal covid test kits from the felon's regime.

[wnylib]

115. Window is next, then. Or a drug laced Coke.

[Gaytano70]

10. The NRA should be cancelled too.

IMHO

[pamdb]

11. trump and interviews

You know, I'm getting to the point where I'm more worried about chubby cheeks than just trump. I really am beginning to think that if (god forbid) trumps does get in, I would only give him a year before chubby cheeks and holy roller Mike Johnson, move to use the 25th amendment and get rid of him so chubby cheeks can become president.

[Island Blue]

14. I think they would begin the 25th Amendment

process immediately after Inauguration Day if (heaven forbid) he gets elected. It seems like that’s been the Heritage Foundation’s plan all along.

[usonian]

16. I sense that a deal has been made.

Vance agrees to The Big Lie, to assuage the little baby's ego, and when, not if (WHICH WE WILL PREVENT) Dump steps down, Vance pardons him.

[zipplewrath]

65. People misunderstand the 25th.

It's not some back door impeachment. Ultimately the Senate still has to remove him from office. You still have to believe that 2/3 of the Senate is in on the plan. (well, 16 GQPers any way).

[Katinfl]

18. I think that is the plan.

Vance is being groomed to take over. Get trump elected, 25th amendment him and Vance takes over. Of course, that 25th amendment thing may not be that easy to accomplish being it takes 2/3.

[notemason]

72. He could resign

[Vinca]

12. I don't think he knows where he is or what he's doing half the time. They seem to be putting him out

there on a day-to-day basis depending on his level of lucidity.

[JoseBalow]

74. He doesn't know where he is, and doesn't care...

(0:55)

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. I think his recent public appearances/utterances/weird behavior are shedding votes.

Last edited Thu Oct 17, 2024, 05:57 PM - Edit history (1)

The only way to stop the hemorrhaging is to head for the bunker.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

67. I'm ready for the final scene with the Luger and a pill

[ShazzieB]

71. Oh, please, please, please, let him be shedding votes.

I really hope this is true!

[rubbersole]

15. C'mon, donnie....

..your devoted magats will hang on every word. Oops, I didn't mean to say 'hang'. I meant 'love'. J6 love. Let's just listen to music 🎶...

[Emile]

19. Isn't Trump late for jail?

[Wednesdays]

24. As Jimmy Kimmel said,

"Isn't it past your jail time?"

[LudwigPastorius]

21. Old...weak...no stamina...

(…not to mention the utterly insane logorrhea that he expels as “answers” to questions.)

[Gary 50]

23. Maybe he's getting his affairs in order

Before spending the rest of his life in prison.

[Demobrat]

55. He'll never go to prison. He'll flee first.

[robleb]

25. "Scheduling conflict" will be easy to check up on.

Where else will he be? Zoomba class? Spelling Bee?
Taking a cognitive test?
Calling Putin?

[Ping Tung]

26. He's having trouble getting a camouflage tutu for his dance performance there.

[Drum]

107. Bwahahahaha!

[moondust]

27. Chickenman!!!

"He's nowhere! He's nowhere!"

[KY_EnviroGuy]

30. Could it possibly be due to "the enemy within"?

Never dreamed I would see TFG get stage fright.....

Probably the enemy within his own head (and diaper).......

[LauraInLA]

32. Hmm, he's speaking to the Alfred E Smith dinner tonight in NY.

[cloudbase]

36. He'd be better off at the Alfred E. Neuman dinner.

[LauraInLA]

86. ....

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

92. BOOM!

[SarcasticSatyr]

33. He's a trainwreck and they can't hide it anymore . . . .

. . . . .

[BattleRow]

35. This guy is gun shy!

[Lovie777]

38. I think his comrades are finally influencing him.....

plus they know he’s mentally unfit as well as unhealthy. They are trying to keep him in contention because it’s getting louder that he’s not well.

[TrunKated]

40. he's arranging his transportation to ...

Venezuela

[twodogsbarking]

43. He knows what they all look like and he is chickenshitscared again. There is a point there.

[gab13by13]

44. The 22nd is 5 days away.

Maybe he has a face time call scheduled with Putin?

[usonian]

73. Wouldn't be the first time.

[Martin68]

47. Something is seriously wrong in the Trump campaign if he misses a guaranteed hug-fest.

I'm looking forward to hearing som e really good news about Trump's state of the bunion.

[Solly Mack]

50. But, but, I thought he said people needed guns for entertainment and such?

Did he not want to be the entertainment at the NRA Rally?

[marble falls]

51. He's gotten gun shy after two MAGAs wanted to martyr him. Besides, he's only got one more ear.

[Wounded Bear]

56. Aren't NRA events gun-free zones?

[DFW]

57. Maybe he is still just cognizant enough to remember

"What is the NRA about, and weren't those things used to try to shoot me?"

[LudwigPastorius]

80. To me, that seems NOT outside the realm of possibility.

Maybe he's having an about face on gun rights, but wants to hide it until after the election.

Even if it's not true, it would certainly make for a good whisper campaign aimed at his followers.

[SilasSouleII]

98. Psyops

"Many people are saying", "everyone knows" "He wants to take your guns away"

[yobrault1]

61. oh the irony considering the NRA

don’t allow any guns in their rallies so he should be relatively safe compared to almost anywhere else in the USA.

[bucolic_frolic]

63. Meaning the power play fallout from the Baier interview has failed

and the rush to judgment with Trump as the Alpha Male candidate is off for today. No one in TrumpLandia knows what's next and they need a few days to manufacture another end run around democracy.

[liberalla]

66. I love this!!! YAY!!!

[Doodley]

69. Leaked transcript from his prepared speech. "I have

done more than any other president in the history of America to defend gun rights. More Americans had guns when I was president than the world has ever known. But they want to take away your guns and take away your freedom to defend yourself, and yet they have tried to take me out three times and counting. I urge all gun owners to fight, fight, fight for free elections without election interference."

[Coexist]

70. Aren't *all* his rallies NRA rallies?

On a serious note, I wonder if this is due to the Iran threats against him? Maybe they've been stepped up because of Yahya?

I have no idea why Iran hates him so much -can anyone here help with that?

Never mind - used the google
https://www.npr.org/2024/09/25/nx-s1-5126621/what-we-know-about-irans-alleged-threats-to-assassinate-trump

LUCAS: Well, we don't really have to speculate as to why, and that's because Iranian officials have said quite openly that they want to avenge the death of an Iranian general who was killed during the Trump administration. That's General Qassem Soleimani. He's an almost mythic figure in Iran, and the U.S. killed him in a drone strike in Baghdad in January of 2020, when Trump was still in office.

[Hekate]

76. I have an idea: send Vance in for everything. Just put that slimy sucker on full display...

And if Trump still thinks he should be onstage, make it a two-fer. That should be entertaining.

[Warpy]

77. My guess says any appearances will be early in the day and strictly controlled

with no opportunities for ad libbing. He's really been making a serious fool of himself, convincing everybody but the abysmally stupid that he's totally lost the plot.

TheGOP needs to find another face in the crowd.

[peppertree]

78. I strongly suspect Needy Amin had a health scare

That pig from hell has one foot in the grave, so it could be almost anything - but probably something cardiovascular.

[634-5789]

79. Peepaw's dementia is showing, his campaign knows it

Boy, if we just had another 2-3 months, there would be a 100% breakdown for Peepaw. As is, he's shutting the door on public appearances. Breaks my heart to see this.

[brush]

82. He/they're keepimg him underwraps until after the election.

From the fiascos of his recent appearances and non-appearances, he's in no shape to make appearances.

The Q&A where he was supposed to interact with the crowd but instead decided to do 39 minutes of swaying and bopping to music, leaving the host and everyone eose there wondering what to do and what the hell was he doing?

Then he just left.

That has to be the end of it. His handlers know his mental decline is near complete and he can't be allowed to appear before audience except maybe a FOX hand-picked audience.

He's finished for the campaign.

[peppertree]

83. As he himself might put it: "HE CHOKED!"

I hope he chokes on a hamberder too.

[ecstatic]

87. was the cognitive dissonance too much?

I mean, he almost had his head blown off twice in 2 months.

[Lunabell]

89. Health problems?

A stroke? I wouldn't doubt it. It's one of the possibilities along with long covid.

[Paladin]
